Katyayani is remembered for courage and for removing obstacles from a devotee's path, blessing them with one hand even as she carries a sword and lotus in the others, and the showering gold on this saree reflects that same spirit of blessing and abundance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eMaterial and craftsmanship\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe base fabric is cotton, breathable enough to carry a wearer comfortably through the sixth night of a nine night festival. Frangipani blooms, a flower long used in offerings across Indian worship traditions, are hand painted alongside the showering gold motif, each one individually done by an artisan, so no two sarees in this design are ever exactly alike. A matching blouse piece is included with this saree.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eDesign and what the motifs represent\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKatyayani was created from the combined energy of the Trinity to defeat the demon Mahishasura, and is worshipped for the courage to face what stands in your way. Her blessing hand, held in Varada mudra, is the gesture this saree's showering gold motif echoes, a symbol of obstacles removed and abundance granted rather than her more fearsome, weapon bearing side. The frangipani blooms scattered alongside it soften that strength with an offering traditionally used in worship.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhen and how to wear it\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSwarna Varsha Katyayani is built specifically for Day 6 of Navratri, when green is worn in her honour, though its warm, blessing centred imagery suits any festive occasion built around courage or new beginnings.
